would you recommend that accountants wait until collections are made from customers before recording sales revenue

Business
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: No

Explanation:

Accounting currently uses the Accrual basis and this is the best basis to use so far because it records revenue when they are earned not when the actual money comes in.

In doing this, the company is able to properly ascertain the revenue that it made in a particular period. If a company were to wait until collections were made, the company might wait for over one period to record their sales which would not be very helpful in calculating income for the period.

Also if companies waited to record only after sales, people not paying and becoming doubtful debts become a headache to record.

Answer:

The fixed costs per unit when 20,000 units are produced are $6.05 per unit.

Explanation:

Fixed costs per unit can be determined by using the following formula:

Fixed costs per unit = Total fixed costs/ number of units are produced

In a company, Total fixed costs do not depend on the level of activity (Fixed costs do not change).

In the company, Total fixed cost = $11 x 11,000 = $121,000

When 20,000 units are produced, Fixed costs per unit = $121,000/20,000 = $6.05 per unit.
